Strange clouds

[Jactually]

Game Version​

2026.4.10.4057

Operating System​

Win11

What Happened​

Large white "clouds" expand and cover the planet and are culled by the active ship and screen edges. When they are all culled they don't come back.

What Was Expected​

There are nice-looking clouds lower in the atmosphere, so this looks like something unintentional.

Reproduction Steps​

1. Start the game

Reproduction Rate​

I haven't seen it not happen. I'm new to KSA and only tried playing the game once last month, but the game wouldn't launch due to some graphics error.

Additional Info​

I recorded a video here:

The CPU has onboard graphics that aren't being used. I got the CPU because I wanted to try out the inline GPU thing, but it never worked. I don't think it is related to this but I will also include those specs for completeness. I only just noticed that the 7600 reports a tiny amount of RAM compared to the inline 740M- weird. My displays are plugged in to the 7600 and KSA reports ~15.19 GB of available VRAM on the configuration screen.
